Spend Time With Your Family

I have a friend that makes great money but works 50 plus hours a week. He probably has more money than he knows what to do with, and honestly he has more money than he has time for. What I mean is that even though he makes great money he is missing out on so much that life has to offer.

I know we all want to make money so we can live and buy the things we want, but when you have no time to do the things you enjoy is there really any point in having all that money? When you have a lot of money and no time to spend with your wife or family then you are not really in the plus in any way. On the other hand if you have the time to spend with your family you may not be able to provide for them the way you would like to. 

You need to decide what is important to you. If working long hours is what you have to do to support your family then do what you have to do, but I would suggest that you take a long look at your priorities. I can say that your family at home would much rather be with you and have less things than for them to have everything and you never be around. 

One reason the world is in the mess it is in is because there are fewer relationships being built at home. Children need there moms and dads and they need that bond from a young age. Kids lack respect for adults now because they are never around there adult figures in the home. We could be moving in a different direction if we would spend more time with our families. Yes it is important to work, but it is important to realize that your family should always come first. 

Learn to balance your family life and your work so that you can not only provide, but also be there for your family. Family is far more important than the things money can buy. You can never get the time you lost back so make sure you make the most of it.
